Paramount Pictures Murcia

2010-12-23

The Consejero de Universidades, Empresa e Investigación, Salvador Marín, the man charged with the delicate project of bringing the Paramount Pictures Murcia Theme park to the Region, presented his "balance" of the year this week.
This is a presentation in which department heads and politicians present a review of activities undertaken during the year and set out their ongoing aims and priorities.

During the presentation of his department, which deals with businesses and development of business opportunities within the region, he highlighted the product of the Paramount Pictures park as being one of the star products in the plans for future regional development.

This quote originally contained references to other business-related projects, but we´ve pared it down so it can be translated as roughly saying that the Region of Murcia has great potential to attract investment and to generate projects which will permit the unfolding of, amongst others, the Paramount Pictures park, whose location will be resolved either at the end of this month or the beginning of next month.

The Consejería is still in negotiation with the owners of the two possible locations for the park, both of which are in the Alhama municipality, but no agreement has yet been reached as to which will host the park.
He then went on to say that the theme park would be the focal point of the regions´tourism offering at the Fitur International tourism event when it takes place early next year.

It was at the Fitur event this year that the first contacts were initiated between Marta Consulting and the Consejero for Culture and tourism, Pedro Alberto Cruz, a meeting which was followed up by a visit to Dubai to discuss the possibilities further.

Although the final plans and designs for the park will not be ready for public display, the opportunities offered by the construction of the park in the region will be put on show to give the Region International exposure.
